In 2007 Frieze Art Fair continued its long-term commitment to education with an inventive and expansive programme introducing contemporary art to young people and families. In its fifth year and third collaboration with Camden Arts Centre, Frieze Education included artist-led workshops for schools, a panel discussion, family workshops, and a free guide to the fair. Frieze Education took place in the Deutsche Bank Education Space, and introduced young people to creative processes and materials, engaging them with contemporary art in new and empowering ways.
‘Introducing the Art World’ was a series of workshops for students aged 15-18. Teaming artists with schools from Camden and Westminster, the workshops provided students with the skills to think critically and creatively about contemporary art and the art world. Taking place both in schools and on site, the workshops gave insights into professional artists’ thought processes and their means of practical experimentation.
On 11 October, a panel discussion for young people aged 16 and over furthered their access to contemporary art and Frieze Art Fair. Students found out about careers within the creative industries and discovered more about the importance of artists in society.
Families visiting Frieze Art Fair participated in free creative workshops; aimed at 5-12 year olds, each session lasted two hours. Guided by artists, visitors explored the materials and creative processes of artists in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
